HELLO AGAIN,
WOOD!
- DIVYANSHU SHARMA
Has this question ever crossed your mind; how would it feel to see your crazy design ideas in reality.
To create something tangible, which you thought was a non-win but won millions of hearts.
Woodworking goes back to the very earliest times and occupies an important place in traditional
arts. Makers who work with wood love their chosen material with a real passion. They delight in the
unexpected way it behaves and the fact that, just like snowflakes, no two pieces of wood are ever
the same. Wood working is an ancient craft. It has been, and continues to be, used in construction,
in design, and in the arts.
Indian wooden handicrafts are widely liked in national and international market. India has many
industries of wooden handicrafts in different states. The different properties of each wood, and
there are different tree species, mean that every crafted wood item is unique. Craft making with
wood requires different methods of working and produces an incredible variety of results. The wood
are used for carving statue, buildings, boats, furniture, decorations, utensils, musical instruments:
the list of products is long, and as diverse as the woods used.
In India, numbers of craftsmen are engaged with wooden handicrafts suppliers, according their
experience and knowledge and they have shown their art work with wood.
Jaipur city is famous for different kinds of handicrafts items, especially for wooden elephants.
Others are Ambabari undercut elephants, fine carved elephants. These products have excellent
quality and impeccable finish. True to its name, these elephants are crafted from wood. These
elephants are available in a variety of numbers and specifications. Crafters are also offering
customizable wooden elephants according to the likeliness of the clients. Wooden handicrafts are
produced in different styles, patterns and carvings.
Handicrafts have been around since mans earliest days in accordance with the prevailing
environmental conditions. The first examples were necessities such as protection or coverings.
Later, handicrafts were later improved and adapted according to environmental conditions,
eventually becoming traditional and now is accepted as an art that reflects the artistic sense,
feelings and cultural characteristics of a society.
The craft-makers of Jaipur are maintaining pace with the users demands and are delivering
innovative products only in one product which is quite a difficult task. Today, unlike earlier days, not
only statues of gods and goddesses are made but other decorative items also. These products are
serving decorative purpose and are residing in thousands of homes.
